We are only a week away form Halloween and this year New Noize falls on the actual day and YOU KNOW IT'S GONNA BE A BRUTAL 2 hours. ALL DARKNESS is the theme of next week's set, but let's talk about this past Sunday's show shall we...

This week was pretty chill again, there must be something in the air. Song of the week was a tough one. Jack White is back with new music, Beirut single is fire plus a new Band of Horses track BUT the New Noize song of the week belongs to Animal Collective with "Prester John" I too am hyped for this full length.

Album of the week goes to the baddest Canadian white boys I know, BADBADNOTGOOD "Talk Memory" They are always innovating their style & sound and I get heavy Mogwai feels from thism what about you? Small programing note, i played the only track that is not available on streaming, so for the spotify playlist i replaced "Open Channels" with "Timid, Intimidating"

This past weekend I went to a kid friendly Halloween party and one of my bestest of friends dressed her infant son as me for Halloween. I was honored and it was hilariously on brand. I will share photos on request so reach out.

Oh I had an opportunity to see Bon Iver for the 1st time at the newly opened YouTube theater down in LA and let me tell you what an incredible show. The musicianship, the stage presence and the coolness factor all mixed into a lovely evening. Seriously I will never miss the guy doing his thing ever again. Twas magic.

Aye Yo! The movies are back and so am I. For reals, so many awesome flicks out right now plus this week kicks off too many concerts from now until Thanksgiving! I'll get into both subject matters here in a few but first let's talk New Noize.

Ok so New Noize's "Album of the Week" was insanely hard to choose, I mean look at all the goodness that dropped this past Friday. I would have picked Deerhoof "Actually, You Can" BUT technically it doesn't come out until this Friday so I can still pick it next week as I prefer picking albums you have access to. Yes I have the new Deerhoof record, one of the perks of what I do and let me tell you every track is AMAZINGLY Deerhoof good. So what is the New Noize Album of the Week? Sundur "Somewhere There's Music" on Needle to the Groove records. The easy parallel after an initial listen of "Somewhere There's Music" would be everyone's favorite Bristol trip hop group Portishead. One can feel the influence of this 90's juggernaut poking through every track yet Sundur has managed to make this sound their own and it really comes to the surface on this new record. "Somewhere There's Music" is great to put on as you are just waking up OR getting back home from a long evening full of cigarettes and regret.

The New Noize song of the week goes to my Algerian fam Imarhan with their new single "Achinkad (Une Biche)" This track is thick with spirits from all sources and will trance your vibe to an ethereal place of wonder plus this features Gruff Rhys from Super Furry Animals. The quintet's new album "Aboogi" drops in late January (the 28th) so enjoy this single until then.

So like I mentioned at the top of the write up SO MANY MOVIES. I just watched Venom 2, Let There Be Carnage and it was a fun flick and the end credit teaser has every comic book fan HYPED! No worries I am no spoiler and I'm not gonna start now. I really want to see the Last Duel, Medieval white people fighting other medieval white people directed by Ridley Scott, I'm ALL OVER THAT. THERE IS A NEW HALLOWEEN and I am so hyped. Michael Myers is one of my favorites of all time. I still haven't seen the new Candyman or Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings but the flick I am MOST hyped about is the new DUNE. I have a big issue as the cast is amazing and very diverse BUT THERE ARE NO ARABS, MUSLIMS OR SOUTH ASIANS in any prominent roles. I predict a serious backlash and DUNE 2 better have a shit ton "us", but I will not hold my breath. Seriously the most prominent Pakistani anything in the America in 2021 (besides myself) is Ali from Squid Games and its a fucking Korean TV series (thank you Hwang Dong-hyuk for including "us") Before my sci-fi fools hit me up with "this is science fiction and takes place on a planet blah blah vomit" STOP. Frank Herbert has gone on record stating that Islam, Middle Eastern culture, Bedouin culture and South Asian culture are all sources for this fantastic fiction. Here is someone way smarter that wrote about this last year:

A quick look at Frank Herbert’s appendix to Dune, “the Religion of Dune”, reveals that of the “ten ancient teachings”, half are overtly Islamic. And outside of the religious realm, he filled the terminology of Dune’s universe with words related to Islamic sovereignty. The Emperors are called “Padishahs”, from Persian, their audience chamber is called the “selamlik”, Turkish for the Ottoman court’s reception hall and their troops have titles with Turco-Persian or Arabic roots, such as “Sardaukar”, “caid”, and “bashar”. Herbert’s future is one where “Islam” is not a separate unchanging element belonging to the past, but a part of the future universe at every level.

Lets talk shows. I am seeing Wilco this week. Here is a small wish list of shows I will probably go to:

Khruangbin 11/6 (Sat) Kikagaku Moyo
YVES TUMOR 11/8(Mon) Fonda Theater
Dry Cleaning 11/10 (WED) Telegram
Japanese Breakfast 11/12 (Friday)

Are there more shows that I am going to? Yes. Can I remember who they are, what dates they are playing and where they are playing? Not right now.

Lastly a nice chunk of this week's music selection can not be found on Spotify. I know why doesn't 92.9 KJEE stream? This question is above my paygrade but maybe one day we will join the rest of the herd. Until then the only way to hear the full glory of New Noize is to be in the terrestrial broadcast area that we cover in Santa Barbara.

Catch you next Sunday my peoples.

Slipping into the slip of Roctober and this guy is feeling great about this onslaught of new jams. Usually around this time new music releases start to slow down but not in 2021 & I for one am not mad at this fact. This past Sunday's set was no exception seeing some surprising new releases. The one that has got me HYPED is Mistki! Last we heard from her she finished up her tour and decided to take a much needed break. Mitski is back with her new single "Working for the Knife" and that means a full lenght BUT WHEN Mitski, when? In that same hour I immediately played Sasami covering one of my favorite songs by the late & great Daniel Johnston "Sorry Entertainer" and what a cover, its Metal AF and Sasami shredding style melts my face in all the right places. In hour 1 a spun the 2nd Arca single featuring Sia "Born Yesterday" and so pop in all the right ways. Arca is also doing a campaign with Ray-Ban sunglasses & im loving all this alt content. I also played new singles from Bonobo, White Lies and Porches but the single that took the "Best of New Noize Song of the Week" is Cat Powers cover of Frank Ocean's "Bad Religion" Much like Sasami, Cat Power's cover of Bad Religion sounds nothing like the original but still has this gravitos that Cat Power commands. One of the last shows I saw before the Pandemic was Cat Power at the Lobero and it was her best performance to date.

Let's talk about full lenght drops. James Blake's new records dropped and a lot of people seem to like it. A few others worth notting are Hand Habits "Clean Air" Bummer's "Dark Horse" & Lala Lala's "I Want the Door To Open" The New Noize Album of the Week belongs to Helvetia "Presents Sudden Hex" out on Joyful Noise. This album is short, under 30 minutes short, but unholy satan this album packs a punch. "Presents Sudden Hex" is on brand for the month of Rocktober and should be incorporate in your daily listening rotation.

Don't worry I will be back next week with another New Noize drop.

Yes this update is coming in on a Tuesday but in my defense I was floored as my body decided to shut down and be all sick (NOT COVID). No worries I am feeling much better but still a bit meh. I blame the Santa Barbara weather. It went from being like 50 to 80 to stormy AF last night (seriously only people from California would take pictures of rain & lightning). If I wanted these types of weather fluxes in my life I would not have left NJ, but who cares about the weather you are here for New Noize.

This past Sunday was a total vibe. I mostly hit all things rock in hour 1 and transitioned into some electronic vibes in hour 2 with a sprinkle of randomness throughout the whole 2 hour show. Picking my "best ofs" was a problem though.

The best song played on New Noize is always a delmemina for me but was compounded this week with all these amazing tracks. I love the new Deerhoof, Overmono, Penelope Isles & ATARASHII GAKKO! but for me I have to go with my favorite mutant girl (her words not mine) ARCA. I love everything this force of nature puts out and "Incendio" is something her fans have been waiting for. New album is coming out this week and this single has teased me to the point of trying not to burst before this release.

Album of the week was also massively difficult to choose. I am a HUGE POND fan and "9" definitely demands some of your time but if i had to pick 1 album I must go with Gustaf's new record "Audio Drag for Ego Slobs' '. It just hits and has been in perma-repeat since its initial listen.

AND SO MUCH MEDIA here in Rocktober. Everyone has finally joined the death game bandwagon known as Squid Games but so much more. I haven't seen the new Venom but I am hyped for it. The biggest news is that it is time for fall anime 2021. Why the hype?? Billie Ellish caused a stir in the anime community by rocking an Attack on Titan long sleeve with a very VERY deep cut message that only fans of the anime would know. Does she actually like AoT or is she a normal that just wants to jump the hype train? Who knows but if more people watch Attack on Titan (one of the greatest TV shows of all time) then I am here for it.

And I'll be here next Sunday.
